The Birth of a Relativistic Jet Following the Disruption of a Star by a Cosmological Black Hole
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Matteo Lucchini, Tanmoy Laskar +63
A black hole can launch a powerful relativistic jet after it tidally disrupts a star. If this jet fortuitously aligns with our line of sight, the overall brightness is Doppler boos…
On the gravitational lensing interpretation of three gravitational wave detections in the mass gap by LIGO and Virgo
Matteo Bianconi, Graham P. Smith, Matt Nicholl +7
We search for gravitational wave (GW) events from LIGO-Virgo's third run that may have been affected by gravitational lensing. Gravitational lensing delays the arrival of GWs, and…
An elliptical accretion disk following the tidal disruption event AT 2020zso
T. Wevers, M. Nicholl, M. Guolo +25
[Abridged] We classify AT 2020zso as a TDE based on the blackbody evolution inferred from UV/optical photometric observations, and spectral line content and evolution. We identify…
Systematic light curve modelling of TDEs: statistical differences between the spectroscopic classes
Matt Nicholl, Daniel Lanning, Paige Ramsden +4
With the sample of observed tidal disruption events (TDEs) now reaching several tens, distinct spectroscopic classes have emerged: TDEs with only hydrogen lines (TDE-H), only heliu…
